yep, that's pretty much exactly what they do, except [string2any]
outputs a list, rather than a single symbol (...but you can always patch
it into [list2symbol] from zexy if you need a single symbol). for
non-symbol arguments, [any2string] does whatever t_binbuf does (probably
truncating floats, performing dollar-substitutions, etc...).

looking at the debian-stable and debian-testing debs from 2008-07-19,
they ought to live in /usr/lib/pd/extra/moocow/any2string.pd_linux rsp.
/usr/lib/pd/extra/moocow/any2string.pd_linux. the only pd-extended
system on which my externals still don't build in windoof/mingw32,
because that box is still using a broken version of make. what system
are you using, Martin?
There are also (probably old and stale, possibly broken) copies in
/usr/lib/pd/extra/flatspace, which should probably just get deleted
(along with sprinkler). I assume these come from externals/build/src;
I'll just go ahead and remove them and see if anyone hollers...
marmosets,
Bryan
